Don’t Say My Name

Don’t bring my name up in polite conversation

They won’t want me around

I’ll draw their lives into my own conflagration

Burn them to the ground

So no they won’t want me around

I’ll take their dreams and put them into perspective

Proud before their fall

I’ll hold a mirror to them, curved and corrective

So they won’t like me at all

Oh no they won’t like me at all

And we will trip together, new destinations

Learning how to live

So tell your friends just what you did on vacation

But don’t tell them who with

‘Cause there are things they won’t forgive

Don’t bring my name up in polite conversation

They won’t want me around

I’ll draw their lives into my own conflagration

Burn them to the ground

So no they won’t want me around

But if my name comes up in their conversation

Don’t hang your head in shame

You’d be advised to offer no explanation

Just don’t say my name

Oh baby just don’t say my name

Or you will be the one to blame

And have to hang your head in shame

Your life will never be the same

If you ever said my name
